Since we’re now soon to be three WiFi generations ahead of my current system when they ratify WiFi 7, I’ve been trying to sort out if I should even be looking at an upgrade.

Background details: I’ve got gigabit internet, I game (although not much anymore), but we’re completely cordless and streaming 4K content is mostly good, but occasionally it seems like our network struggles to keep up. We also have a wide variety of IoT devices (smart plugs, speakers, even our fridge is WiFi-connected (I didn’t ask for that feature), etc.).

Theoretically, our WiFi 5 system should be fine, but there’s been a number of deals on 6E systems that have piqued my curiosity.
